How to install closed beta One UI (Android Pie) on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8

The following video will guide you through the installation process of One UI. I am using the Galaxy Note 9 and the Galaxy S9 + in the video, but the process will work as long as they are replaced with the files linked below for the Snapdragon Galaxy Note 8.



  1. Download Odin 3.13.1, the update.zip for CRK1 to DRL7, and the CRK1 Odin files.
  2. Copy the update.zip to the SD Card on your Smartphone while you don’t have an SD Card, skip this step.
  3. Open the Odin files. The zip will be named SM-N950U_1_20181126150901_ouxwmh265r_fac.zip. In it, you can find six files. You will see 5 categories In Odin,, though you will only use 4.
  4. Turning it off then holding Power + Volume Down + Bixby button on your Smasung Phone.
  5. Open Odin and select the corresponding BL, AP, CP, and HOME_CSC, but nothing in User data. The process  erase all the data on your phone. 
  6. Hit start.
  7. Samsung phone will flash the new firmware and then reboot.
  8. After you have done above step, wait about 5 minutes and then shut off your phone and reboot into recovery by holding Power + Volume Up + Bixby.
  9. Now,you should use the CRK1 to DRL6 OTA for this update.
  10. Then,you need to use the volume buttons and power to select “apply update from SD card.” If you do not have an SD Card, skip to step 12.
  11. Now,you can use the volume buttons again to select the update.zip file and the power button to select it. The update will then start.Generally, The update require between 2 to 10 minutes. After you have finished above step, skip to step 13.
  12. If you don’t use an SD Card when use the volume buttons to select the “apply update from adb” option. Then open a command prompt/Terminal on your PC and type:
    adb sideload <file location of update.zip>
    and hit enter. The update will start and take 2 to 10 minutes. 
  13. Finally,you can reboot your phone and enjoy the One UI beta.
